UK Horse Racing Tips: Kempton

ASHEN GLOW shaped with plenty of promise when hitting the crossbar on debut at Wolverhampton last time and she should take a step forward from that effort, which makes her the one to beat. 55,000gns purchase Khutulun has plenty of speed in her pedigree and it would be no surprise to see her get involved, while any market support behind Stage Effect on her debut would also be interesting.
Prediction : 1st Ashen Glow 2nd Khutulun 3rd Stage Effect

Malacanne filled the runner-up berth over 1m2f at Chelmsford on his latest outing and is 1lb higher for that effort, but the step up in trip could catch him out. With that in mind, LETABA looks the way to go. Ed Dunlop's gelding kept on when fourth at Yarmouth on his return to action and the four-year-old can get back to winning ways on the all-weather. Geelong is a consistent performer who is more than capable of a decent showing.
Prediction : 1st Letaba 2nd Malacanne 3rd Geelong

REYAADAH STAR put in a much improved display when finishing second over track and trip earlier in the month, which is by far her best effort to date. Charlie Johnston's filly can find normal progression to go one better, with her main threat possibly being Assured, who is related to a few winners and she wouldn't have to be a world beater on debut to have a say. Atrixi and Blonde Arrow appeal most of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Reyaadah Star 2nd Assured 3rd Atrixi

JAYYASH has clearly been a work in progress so far having stepped forward with each start. The son of Siyouni got off the mark here last month and that form was well advertised by the runner-up winning a contest at Sandown which has been known to throw up some smart performers over the years. As a result, an opening mark of 80 is likely to underestimate how far he might be able to go. Screaming Eagle may prove better for his reappearance when a beaten favourite here in maiden company, while Lingfield scorer Surveyor is capable of being in the mix.
Prediction : 1st Jayyash 2nd Screaming Eagle 3rd Surveyor

Despite not landing the hat-trick of C&D victories here in February, LADY OF ARABIA still performed with a fair amount of credit to finish third and is likely to remain competitive racing off the same mark. Baltimore Boy drops back in trip and sports cheekpieces for the first time, which may bring out some improvement. Others to consider include Francesi and Optiva Star.
Prediction : 1st Lady Of Arabia 2nd Baltimore Boy 3rd Francesi

Invincible Speed made a sparkling introduction to handicaps when winning at Wolverhampton in January and he must be respected, despite a 10lb hike in the ratings. An opening mark of 77 for Chelmsford winner MRS MORRELL appears to be lenient, though, and she gets the vote. Want Want struck the woodwork over C&D last time out and can enter calculations along with Dapperling, who reached the frame at Wolverhampton on her return last month.
Prediction : 1st Mrs Morrell 2nd Invincible Speed 3rd Want Want

Each of these remain open to further improvement so only a tentative vote can go to RAKKI. Alan King's gelding made no impact across his three qualifying runs, but the son of Sea The Stars, who is a half-brother to St Leger winner Masked Marvel, can excel now stepped up in trip. Path To Dubai has proven himself to be a consistent performer and has to be respected, while Clockwatcher, who could improve for the addition of first-time cheekpieces, is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Rakki 2nd Path To Dubai 3rd Clockwatcher
